Well how are you feeling about after your runs? Are your knees or hips bothering you? I think it really is up to you. Also if you're doing running and walking, you may not be putting as much stress on it. I do flat out fast runs, starting with 9 minute miles and getting up to 7 minute miles for the last quarter mile because I love pain! LOL! Men have denser bones, too, so for a man it might not be as hard on the body to run daily. It really is, though, how you feel. I know if I run two days in a row my knees and hips hurt. Plus I get bored. I alternating running and biking with lifting on the running days. I do arms those days and on the biking days I do my ab work and some lifting targeting my back.
